4.1

After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between you and us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

5. OUR STATUS

5.1

Please note that in some cases, we accept orders as agent on behalf of third parties. The resulting legal contract is between you and that third party seller, and is subject to the terms and conditions of that third party seller, which they will advise you of directly. You should carefully review their terms and conditions applying to the transaction.

5.2

We may also provide links on our sites to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We do not give any representation, warranty or undertaking in respect of products which you purchase from third parties through our sites or from third parties to whose website we have provided a link on our sites. This does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller. We will notify you when a third party is involved in a transaction and may disclose your customer information related to that transaction to the third party.
